I’ve never gotten into canning…I think because all I can think of are those pickled pink eggs & jars of pickled pig feet in the country store on the corner where I grew up. But this could be a turning point. If I don’t win, that’s OK because I might still check out this book (since it’s got bacon in it and all… lol)

I grew up with canning in the background and never paid that much attention or helped out, but now that I have my own little family, I’m exploring that part of my upbringing!
This book looks right up my alley!

Those toaster tarts are soooo very cute! I’ll bet they were incredibly flaky as well. I’ve been thinking about adding lard to my pie crusts but didn’t want to go whole hog (insert groan here). I like the half and half option, buttery and super flaky.

Oh, I so want to win!!! This book looks so awesome and it’s rather expensive to buy overhere 🙁 (already checked amazon) 😉 And those Toaster Tarts look so amazing – I am definitely gonna try these! Thanks for sharing the recipe and thanks for the chance to win!
